Short Review
- The Philips W6500 features a compact design with dimensions of 128.7 x 66 x 11.8 mm and a weight of 150.8g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.3-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 256 ppi, although it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is powered by a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking and app usage.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, but it does not support optical image stabilization or a front-facing camera.
- The 2400 mAh battery provides adequate power for daily use, though it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience may feel dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- The device is available in a bright yellow color, adding a distinctive touch to its overall appearance.
- Overall, the Philips W6500 is a basic smartphone that covers essential features without advanced specifications.
